I help founders raise oversubscribed rounds. Sample Q4 case study: - Startup failed to fundraise, one of the two founders left, and runway dipped below 5 months. - I started coaching them. - 3 months later we signed a Series A term sheet for $15M on a >100x multiple. (Note: non-AI and no-capex startup) # My Story - Started with 0 network - Got coaching from: - One of the world’s best investors (Facebook, Airbnb, Cursor, Ramp, etc), - The man who raised the most money ever for a software company (recently beaten by Musk & Altman), and - An operator who raised close to $1B. - Raised an over-subscribed seed of $10M on $60M on great terms with investors like:![[investors.jpg]] - Since then, I've helped founders across five countries raise tens of millions of dollars. I don't name clients publicly — I prefer to stay behind the scenes and let them take full credit for their rounds, but I'm happy to connect you with references privately if you'd like to explore working together. # Outcomes 1. Add $5 to $15M in valuation 2. Avoid expensive mistakes, like accepting standard clauses that when combined allow investors to fire you from your own company any time. 3. Significantly lower the risk of company death and associated stress (my clients have a 100% success rate so far) # How I Help Some highlights from each stage of the process: - Preparation — make the company look hot - Learn how the world’s best fundraisers do it by looking at exact decks and emails that raised hundreds of millions - Roleplay calls - List the best possible investors worldwide and map intro paths - Roadshow — make the round hot - Get detailed feedback on VC calls (← 80% of the value at this stage is here) - Learn how to operationalize maximizing FoMo - Background check predatory VC - Negotiation — maximize the auction and negotiate good terms - Put just the right amount of pressure to get all terms sheets at the same time - Negotiate against “standard terms” your lawyers will push you to accept (they get more business from VCs than from you) - Smoothen legal due diligence so you don’t risk investors cancelling the round and leaving you naked # Contact [→ Find a time to chat](https://cal.com/trebaol/fundraising)
